Youth can be any resident age 17 or younger on the date of the hunt and must possess a valid Indiana resident youth license and a HIP number. Any non-resident youth age 17 or younger on the date of the hunt may participate but must possess a valid non-resident Indiana youth hunting license and HIP number.

Hunting spaces are limited, so interested youth will need to pre-register starting Aug. 1, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., on Mondays, Wednesdays, or Fridays. To register participants can stop by the office or call.

The deadline is Aug. 22. If the number of youth exceeds our quota we will have a drawing to select those attending the event.

A parent or accompanying adult may take part in the event with the youth, but is not required. Your child will be partnered with an experienced hunter/volunteer who will act as a mentor throughout the day. Adults will not hunt, but can accompany their children.

Your child is allowed to bring a shotgun as long as it is unloaded, cased and in good working order. However, it is not necessary to bring on. Shotguns and ammunition can be provided.
